William's educational journey began at Vaucluse Public School, where he spent his childhood. After finishing public school, he continued his studies at Waverley College for high school. During his time at Waverley, William honed essential life skills such as honesty, respect, leadership, and empathy while discovering a love for rugby league and playing the sport until the end of high school.
At 14, William started his first job at McDonald's on Bondi Beach, gaining an appreciation for the value of hard work and money. Throughout the years, he held various positions. He even started his plumbing apprenticeship during his last year of high school to increase his chances of landing a desirable job in the area. In addition to his apprenticeship, William worked as a full-time bartender in King Cross.
William pushed himself to achieve even more after completing his Certificate of Plumbing and acquiring a solid foundation in plumbing and customer service. He completed an advanced diploma a year ahead of schedule before officially finishing his apprenticeship. He then moved from a local maintenance plumbing business to a high-rise development company called Boone & Willard, where he managed a team of tradesmen on the Barangaroo project.
Once he obtained his Certificate IV in Plumbing and Plumbing license, William pursued his dream of starting his own plumbing company and founded Proximity Plumbing. Leveraging the connections he made at Waverley College, he quickly established himself in the real estate and strata maintenance fields.
Our clients are of the utmost importance to us, and we take pride in building long-lasting relationships with them. We strive to go above and beyond for our clients, doing things sometimes a little out of the ordinary to ensure their complete satisfaction.
Communication is critical, so we keep our clients informed at every stage of the job. From the booking confirmation to the follow-up call, we ensure our clients are always in the loop. We value their feedback and consider it every step of the way.

Going above and beyond to ensure they are your biggest advocates and fans and referring us to fellow family and friends, it's the little things like leaving a valve tag, so in an emergency, they know our number is right there to call us on or going a signature proximity plumbing air freshener in the client's bathroom after we are done to minimise and diffuse the smell, check out our Instagram where we are different and stand out from the crowd of Sydney Plumbers.
We appreciate the eastern suburbs are a close-knit community where reputation is everything, and you have to under-promise but over-deliver. Often People have high expectations, and so they should. We deal with successful and intelligent individuals who want straight-to-the-point solutions and clear explanations on how to resolve their issues. With that said, more and more people are working on their homes and being proactive rather than reactive to general maintenance.
At the end of the day, not everyone has studied for six years to be a plumber, and we cannot expect everyday people to understand what most plumbers have typically written. We have invested in the latest technology and apps to be able to show our clients the options they are choosing visually. This all starts with our clients being in full control of their decisions and understanding the issue they are presented with. We find that it’s much easier to write a simple report with the important facts, less plumbing lingo, and more valuable pictures that can be used as a visual aid rather than an in-depth six-page essay on a blockage drain (which is unnecessary).
We will guide you, step-by-step through our recommendation, on the best way to tackle your plumbing issue and get the job done quickly and efficiently with the least amount of disruption to your home or property. This way, it’s transparent, and we know our clients will be left satisfied knowing exactly what they are paying for and what is going on with their home plumbing. To top it off, Proximity Plumbing provides a hard copy of all quotations, invoices & CCTV footage of the work undertaken, a warranty and reference. This way, it’s peace of mind so our clients can always refer back to it.

Read MoreThe short answer is: no, here’s why: just like seeing a doctor, a doctor cannot examine you or diagnose you over the phone without a personal examination; its much the same with plumbing, its best we investigate the issue first before providing you with a solution and a price.
We do this by offering a $0 call-out fee on all jobs, once onsite and have investigated the issue we can then provide a solution moving forward, if approved we will carry out the work, if not there is no obligation - you can find out more about our pricing and the reason why we don't like to provide prices over the phone our pricing page: https://proximityplumbing.com.au/plumbing-prices/
Unfortunately, too many plumbers will give quotes over the phone. This is entirely unprofessional and no more than a marketing ploy to entice you to engage them to solve your problem. Would you expect a doctor to diagnose a medical condition over the phone? It's easier to diagnose a medical issue over the phone than a plumbing problem, but no doctor will do so without first examining you.

Most people think plumbing is dirty work. Sure, you may have to deal with blocked toilets, sewer lines and drains but there’s way more to this job than toilets and drains. The plumbing industry is very important because, without it, modern life wouldn't exist. More and more residential, commercial and industrial areas are being build up, and problems with drainage, sewer system, pipes and other plumbing problems appear too frequently. As such, plumbers are required to install, as well as repair and maintain these systems regularly and efficiently.
As we must say, there are pros and cons of being a plumber. People's perception of the plumbing industry does change dramatically from time to time. Plumbing is a physically demanding job and you have to be fit and strong to do it. You have to work in extreme conditions. It's dirty and can be dangerous yet, it is a rewarding job.
To become a good and effective plumber, you need to have various skills and competencies including: problem-solving skills, critical thinking skills, safety skills, good communication skills, physical skills and the most important one should be to complete technical plumbing courses.

Yes, you can negotiate with plumbers. However, you need to understand what affects their prices and the strategies they use to set them. There is a balance between negotiating to save money and paying your plumber a decent amount for their professional services.

Sydney Plumbing Emergencies often happen late at night, early in the morning or on a weekend/public holiday? These problems always seem to come at the worst possible time. For this reason, there are often plumbers who will take advantage and advertise rates that are often too good to be true in the hope you book them in and then, once
locked in, jack the prices up, usually 2-5 times the regular rate.
For all Sydney plumbing emergencies, we charge a flat fee between $250 - $350 + GST, which covers the after-hours call out to your door and will usually cover the minimum costs associated with making the property safe as this is our number one priority. Once onsite, you will never pay any extra rates for after-hours services. From midday to
midnight, the rate you pay will stay the same as if the works were done during regular operating hours.

The best way to find the plumber is through a trusted referral; often, it is best to engage a Sydney plumber with whom someone you know already has been involved with and has used. If you do not know a trusted local plumber, the next best thing you can do is check their credentials and do research online and check their reviews.
Online reviews are a great way to gauge if a plumber's previous clients were satisfied with the quality of their products and services, check out Proximity plumbing reviews.
Furthermore, evaluate only plumbers who can deliver proof of insurance and business registry. In some circumstances, you can also ask the plumber how long he has been in the plumbing industry. The more experience the plumber or company has - the better the service usually is.
Our top tip is to check their Google reviews! If a person you trust can recommend a local Sydney plumber they have used in the past, it's a clear indication if the plumber is reliable and worth engaging. Typically a paying customer pays close attention to costs, the quality of the service, and the value they receive and often will go out of their way to share their experience with a local plumber in Sydney.

This is for your safety, only licensed plumbers can legally handle most plumbing problems, which can carry serious risks if not done correctly.

The cost of hiring a plumber will depend on the scope of work, your location and their level of experience. There are simple plumbing jobs such as tap repairs to more complicated ones like a burst pipe. There are plumbing tasks that are calculated on an hourly basis while others offer flat rates based on the scope of the job. Always ask for itemised quotations to plan your budget and avoid pricing surprises.

Remember these three golden rules
1. No professional plumber can ever give you a price over the phone without an on-site diagnosis just like no doctor could ever diagnosis a patient on the phone.
2. The old saying, “too good to be true” sums it up! do your research & shop local
3. It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little- licensed vs unlicensed plumber blog here.

There are many industries that require the services of trained plumbers. Therefore, the demand for skilled plumbing services is increasing.
Plumbing is on the top list of jobs that are in high demand in Australia at the moment. It’s a simple supply and demand case. That’s why territories around Australia need highly qualified plumbing professionals that can work on any task such as tap repairs or drainage systems. Plumbing is a regulated and licensed trade, which allows workers to work their way up to a master plumber.
In big cities like in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney territories, the development is continuous. Skills of trade workers such as plumbers are required to keep the development moving forward.

If you’re suddenly in need of a professional plumber, your next thought may be “how much do plumbers charge?” And it’s a fair question - we’ve all heard the horror stories of plumbers ripping off clients left, right and center.
How Much Do Plumbers Charge?
It is one of the most asked questions in the industry. How much do plumbers charge in Sydney Australia? The answer is: It depends on the company and the service. “Plumbing” is a very general term and covers all things from replacement washers and burst Flexi hoses to a full pipe relining job. Different plumbers will structure their quotes differently, but here’s something to be wary of: super cheap and overly “easy” quotes.
Proximity Plumbing does not have an hourly rate; we charge by the job. Although this does not appeal to everyone, we have found this is the most transparent way to conduct business. When it comes to plumbing, every job is different. That is why you are calling us in to fix it. We often find we need to see the problem before letting you know how much it will cost to fix it. That is why we offer the complimentary call out, and once we are on-site, we can determine what the job will cost. Each type of job has an upfront fixed price, and we need to determine what that is by conducting a thorough inspection.

When it's NOT the time to DIY plumbing!
There’s an awesome sense of achievement when you’ve had a morning of being a handyman or handy woman around the house, fixing things and feeling like Tim the Toolman (for all our growing-up-in-the-90’s readers).
But when it comes to your home’s plumbing there are a few instances where DIY is not the best course of action. Professional plumbers spend years learning their trade for good reason - those pipes can be tricky!
So here are 5 times when DIY is not your friend and it’s time to call a professional plumber:
